anlēλōnne
A few more mineral words because they’re fun. This is the word for fool’s gold or iron pyrite. It is related to the word for gold (anlōnne) though where that λ came from, I don’t know.

So hey, let me ask: Why is pyrite looked down upon? Why’s it called “fool’s gold”? I know it’s not gold, but so? Looks pretty good to me!
Pyrite is very common and not particularly valuable. Many have mistaken it for gold (very rare and valuable).
